Professional Videogaming Has Doping Scandals, Too

In every sport doping is used and organisations are fighting to get doping out of the sports. there are articles on the internet that are saying drugs is used in Esports, I just read the complete 2015 all-star event rulebook, I didn't see one subject/rule about doping in it. There are other posts on this board that sugest drug testing, I didn't see one comment from Riot on this subject.

Riot are there plans to test professional players? or are you just looking away from it?

I love to watch LOL Esports and I don't say the professional are using drugs, but I think it should be in the rulebook that you are against it.

Didn't some quake/unreal players take steriods back in the day? Pretty sure I remember hearing about that a long time ago. Because, they increase hand/eye coordination, or reaction speeds. (one of the benefits you get besides muscle mass; cant remember which tho).

It was a big meme thing way way back in the day; hell 15 years ago when those games were super popular.

While probably not necessary at the time, but if esports continues to grow then perhaps a drug test should be required.
